Hi

What surname does Mary Jane have in 1911 please?  This might help track her down a bit quicker.

I can see a marriage for a Richard BARRETT and a Mary Jane CORMACK Limehouse St Anne 1897. 

There is also a marriage for a Mary Jane BARRETT father Richard BARRETT but her birthyear is about 1861.

Cheers

Thanks for the interest.  Mary marries George Skipper in 1906. I have trached her from the 1911 Census.  She is married to George and living with them is a son, Frank Samuel Bora Barrett.  This is how I began chasing her.  I don't know what her maiden name is, because there is also a Mary Jane Riches married to Richard Barrett.  This is why I'm after the 1901 Census.  Family history is so much fun, isn't it? ;D

Just had a re-read of the 1901 Census posted by Karenlee.  The birthplace is right and it states that she was unmarried.  This has really thrown a cat among the pigeons.  Maybe her name was Barrett and she was never before George.

The only way to be totally sure would be to buy either Frank Samuel BARRETT's birth certificate or the marriage certificate for Mary Jane and George.

Frank Samuel Bora Barrett was born in Great Yarmouth and enumerated there in 1911, Aged 7. What took the family to Great Yarmouth?
